Essential Perfumes Ice Oud is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Sidonie Grandperret. Ice Oud opens with Salt, Brown Sugar, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Cognac, Amber, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Essential Perfumes's Ice Oud carries a Statement verdict, an amber-led wear.

Seriously divisive. Some love this take on amber, others find it too sweet and synthetic. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

About

Ice Oud opens with a surprising hit of salty brown sugar and crisp citrus, undercut by a touch of aldehydic fizz. This unusual sweetness quickly settles into a heart of warm amber and smooth cashmere wood, with a boozy hint of cognac and a whisper of spicy cinnamon. The base dries down to a musky vanilla and tonka bean creaminess, grounded by an earthy oakmoss.
